We went to Mahoe Reserve in Lincoln today, where, remarkably, a tui had been observed on Thursday and Friday. It showed up again, for about half an hour, and sang. See the movie.

It was unbanded, and Laura Molles didn't recognise its song, suggesting that it may have blown in from somewhere in the Southern Alps during the recent westerly storms, instead of being a Banks Peninsula bird.

Not a great recording, I should have stopped walking at the very least.
